Live paella works almost anywhere with a level, ventilated spot: gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and festival fields in and around RG25. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, paella Valenciana and vegetable paella, and we’re frequently booked for engagement and anniversary parties and christenings and family gatherings.

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
  2. We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
  4. We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
  5. Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.

Dishes our guests love

Mixed paella

Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together.

Paella Valenciana

The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It is often the most popular pan at an event.

For planners, venues and organisers

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.

What we need at the venue

If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
